I describe the burning in my arms like laying your arms on the
hood of a black truck on a hot sunny day in August.
I'm with you pins & needles are a good day.

Pain
i tend to describe my pain as if someone is dragging me down an
asphalt road with no clothes on and setting me on fire.... if i have a
day of just pins and needles it's a good day...
i don't take any pain meds as they don't help at
all........

It's okay Lori... I do seem to have
more pain than most people (with SCI) I talk to or read about on here
andon the Care/Cure site. Just to clarify for every one why she
thinks that, is that I have severe cold & needles burning in my
whole abdominal area and back and have severe hot burning and needles in
my butt, in between my legs, and down to my knees. Plus, I have
tendinitis and bursitis in both my shoulders which causes some
pain. The nerve pain is basically from my injury level down.
And like Lori said, I have tried everything from medication to nerve
blocks and nothing has helped. I recently had a baclofen pump put
in and that has been a whole other story, but I am waiting to add pain
medication to the pump. So no Lori, I'm calling my doctor Monday
to find out if the medication (a local anesthetic, numbing medication)
has arrived at the chronic pain clinic I go to (I've been waiting for
two week! s for the medication). I'm praying this will be what
I've been searching for for pain relief for nearly 12 years. As
Lori mentioned, my nerves are shot and I recently went on Klonopin to
help with the stress of it all.

Ok, how bout I say the member here that "I know personally by
dozens of personal emails" has severe pain that
has nearly sent her out of her mind for the last 7 yrs or
so. Sorry Corie ... you can say it the best. And I
shouldn't
have said anything. I hope by now that you've had more
(or THE) pain med added to your pump to see if it
can give you any relief.
I'm soon going to wise up like you Corie and you others I
know ![]() who have chosen
to lurk more than post.

The member here with the most pain is Corie Jones.
She's tried almost everything for her
awful pain.
Now Lori, not to start a bunch of s..... here but how can you
say she is the member with the worst pain? No one can measure
another's pain no matter how they tell you 'what they feel or what
they're going through'. For the record, I've tried almost
everything too even steroid injections.
